For his most recent movie role, 50 Cent went to extreme lengths to play the part.
In his upcoming movie, Things Fall Apart, 50 plays a football player diagnosed with cancer, reports ThisIs50.com.
In order to look the part, he dropped from 214 lbs to 160 with the help of a liquid diet and a three-hour-a-day treadmill walk for nine weeks.
"I was starving," said 50, who is currently on tour. "I've been eating. I'll be back in shape in no time!"
Other actors have been known for losing and gaining significant weight for their roles. One notable example is Christian Bale, who dropped to 120 lbs for 2004's The Machinist, and gained over 100 lbs for the titular role in Batman Begins.
Look I respect desire, determination & a strong will...I mean that is a big staple of my entire being but even I think this is a little drastic. But I still applaud 50 for building his own project, networking his ass off to get the top talent and doing everything that is needed for for it to be a success and for those reason alone I will watch this movie and root for it. I pretty much hated any movie 50 was in but this time I am on your side 50.
Some inspirational music for my boy Fif!!!
